As a test I downloaded and installed Firefox 0.93. (the latest) When it finished installing and I started the browser, it asked if it should be set to the default, I answered yes.
DQSD seems to work beautifully. I dont know if it is a bug in a previous version of Firefox or if it is an OS problem. I am running winXP with all the updates except for the dreaded sp2. Incidentally, I checked the previously mentioned keys to see what they were set to and they were left untouched and still pointing to IE. BUT I did a search through my registry and found the below keys set to the Firefox browser.
